Opened in 2003 with the aim to graduate experts in the field of machine-production, our Department is among the firsts in our country to offer education in English. The Manufacturing Engineering program focuses on the manufacturing technologies that shape materials from raw materials to final products by means of analytical, experimental and numerical modeling methods. First Manufacturing Engineering Program to be engineered by Müdek, our department aims to graduate creative and innovative Manufacturing Engineers that are knowledgeable in the current technology, and are able to use production resources in an effective and sustainable way that never disregards environmental facts. As the first Department to implement the Cooperative Education Program at Atılım University in coordination with institutions from the industry, the Manufacturing Engineering offers a practice-oriented approach in education with its laboratory infrastructure and research opportunities. The curriculum at our department is supported by current engineering software, and catered to creating engineers equipped to meet the needs of the production industry.

Abstract

Quenching technology is widely used in automotive industry from a simple immersion quenching of gears up to the complex production technology of press hardening. The selection of process parameters to develop the desired properties is challenging due to the complexity of the physical phenomena occurring during the manufacturing cycle. In the last decades several computational methods have been applied successful to optimise the heat treatment processes. This paper is focusing on some examples demonstrating the state of the art of the simulation tools, including the physical phenomena of quenching, the theoretical background of the coupled models used for estimation the microstructure, mechanical properties and deformation of heat treated automotive components. © 2014 IHTSE Partnership.
